I don't necessarily disagree with you (I, too, would dress more conservatively if I were in politics). However, isn't this attitude, and the fact that her photo was altered, further underscore how it's continually the responsibility of women to censor our bodies so as not to make others uncomfortable? Yes, it is…

Speaking as someone who's worked in psychiatric hospitals—suicidal thinking/ideation is something you should take VERY seriously. In my job, I would check in with the depressed/suicidal patients during my shifts and ask them if they were having suicidal thoughts. And if they were, we would watch them even more…

Thanks for sharing. These stories are so heartbreaking (and when the government interferes) infuriating, as well. I wonder sometimes if anti-choicers even understand scenarios like this exist, or do they just ignore these realities and pretend all women seeking abortions are slutty harlots? Sadly, women really have a…

Thanks for the supportive responses.

Speaking as a woman who is currently 20 weeks pregnant: these laws are ridiculous. I just had my final prenatal test TWO DAYS ago. If there had been some catastrophic abnormality with my baby (say Trisomy 18, in which the baby can't live outside of the womb for more than an hour max), I wouldn't be finding out until…

Thanks for the loofa comments. I needed to laugh after reading about this crap.

Here's what happened: Commissioner Bratton left and cleaned up my city (Los Angeles). NY Times, ironically, just ran a story about how well Bratton did in LA, stamping down corruption and diversifying the force. Sounds like he needs to be back in NYC...

And this is exactly why I tip servers so much. The super low hourly pay plus having to give portions of your tips to busers, runners and bartenders. You're lucky if you get $100 at the end of the night in take home tips.

So I'm supposed to tip my lawn service and movers?? Why wasn't I informed of this? My movers charged $750—so I'm surprised a tip was expected on top of that (or maybe it was factored in). We did buy them lunch, at least. And lawn and pool service, too? Is that every month or just the end of the year? That would mean…

And this thinking is why there are so many anti-choice fuckards out there on a personal quest to destroy all female sexual expression. Because geez, if those guys (usually men, but also some women) can't enjoy sex, then those slutty slut sluts who got themselves pregnant should be punished!

Add to that Roberta Flack and Nina Simone.

Great video. But it's a little sad that even Kittywood is dominated and run by men...

This actually has me interested in seeing the movie. The lame-ass SFW crap trailers Hollywood has shown make the movie look like EVERY OTHER SUMMER ACTION FILM. But this, looks like fun.

They must cut out Mother Abigail—or at least change her character substantially. I think I puked a little during the scenes where her face is shown posthumously at various points in the story. Ugh! Cut that crap. Make her less grandmotherly and holy and more emotionally complex and interesting. Actually, that goes for…

"I Am Legend 3: I am Legender": Thanks for the laugh. I heard this movie is in production for a 2013 release...

I absolutely agree—the people who vote for the corrupt politicians are completely deluded. I feel like this just illustrates the horrendous condition of our educational system. Too many Americans never learn how to think critically or question anything. "Well Fox News says it's true, so it must be true" sort of…

I agree the Manifest Destiny/Individualism mentality is definitely partially to blame. But these days I feel a lot of it comes down to lawmakers caring more about large corporations than the average American. It's sad when behemoth billion-dollar corporations have far more control and influence over your government…

And don't forget the meds that make them crazy sensitive to all smells and gaggy at the slightest hint of something unpleasant plus something to simulate the overwhelming unbelievable exhaustion. Oh, and huge swollen feet near the end to the point where they can't fit into any of their shoes.

My mom's the reason I'm on antidepressants (and I'm not talking about genetics—it was her constant emotional abuse). Narcissistic/selfish/horrid moms ftw! :-(

Thanks for the great post. When my daughter was a newborn, I got so sick of hearing people tell us how much harder it would get when she was older. You know what? My daughter's 2 now, and while she is a bundle of energy and loves to run around and get into everything, don't miss the night wakings, the frequent…
